Macron just radiates Hillary Clinton vibes to me.
on the contrary.
valls would have been much more like hillary, with the difference, that he seems to be much more principled and there aren't enough push-forces behind him in france, to get him into round 2.
macron is a charismatic outsider and a new force, while le pen is politically old and her ideas and her presence are rusty and well-known.
Yeah, comparing Macron with Hillary is odd. She was a terribly flawed candidate from the start with low favourable ratings. Macron can be compared with a younger version of Alexander Van der Bellen. Macron should get at least what the polls show. The question is if Le Pen underpolls or not. I guess not.
Macron is more the Obama type: Mostly the same as Hillary ideological but for some unknown reason people think he represents change.
